ImportSelector class abstract interface

🫘 A strategy interface for selecting which imports should be applied.

ImportSelector is an abstract interface that allows libraries or frameworks to determine dynamically which imports to include at runtime or configuration time. It is often used in modular application setups where certain dependencies or components should only be imported conditionally.

Usage

Implement this interface in a class and override selects to return a list of import identifiers (usually library URIs or package paths).

class MyImportSelector implements ImportSelector {
  const MyImportSelector();

  @override
  List<String> selects() {
    return [
      'package:my_app/services/user_service.dart',
      'package:my_app/repositories/user_repository.dart',
    ];
  }
}

The framework or bootstrap process can then query selects to know which imports to include.

Contract

• Classes implementing this interface must be const constructible.
• selects must return a list of valid strings representing import URIs.
• The list may be empty if no imports are required.

• ApplicationStartup 🫘 for orchestrating application initialization.
• PodFactory 🫘 for dependency resolution.
